Ok! I like that!
It seems much more complicated to code than what we have right now,
which is a purely random thing: something like "roll a dice and if it's
6, display the message".
So I won't do it right now and I would be super interested in ideas on
how to implement this with basically no data on whether it's Bob or
Alice opening up their browser.
Can you think about how to code this?
